Passage Read: 1 Samuel 21-24
Meditation Verses: 23:16-17

Thought

Jonathan could imagine how David must be feeling. He knew enough to go out and find him and comfort him, encouraging him to continue trusting in the Lord. When things seemed pretty bleak, Jonathan had confidence in God that David would prevail. David was very blessed to have such a friend, who had such confidence in God to be able to assure David.

Application

I am feeling so overwhelmed by this transition. I know when it is over, I'll feel so much better, but right now it seems insurmountable. I will be glad when it's over. The Lord has shown clearly every step that we're on the right path, but the details, getting through each step just seems so complicated. I'm tired of complication, I want simple. I know it'll be much simpler once we arrive, but until then, part of me wants to flee the stress, to give up now before it gets any worse. I need to resist that temptation and endure. It will soon be over.
